[python-win32] default_interface missing

[Mantila Juhani]

Got it the same way.
I've got a huge type library from ESRI and most of the interface
classes are not wrapped by makepy, so most of the coclasses
look similar, no interfaces at all.
In VB and MS VC++ everything is visible and usable...
Some more information, yet. The library is imported into C++
like this :

#ifndef _IMPORTED_
#define _IMPORTED_

#pragma warning(push)
#pragma warning(disable : 4146)
#pragma warning(disable : 4192)

#import "d:\esri\arcexe81\bin\esriCore.olb" raw_interfaces_only,
raw_native_types, no_namespace, named_guids, exclude("OLE_HANDLE",
"OLE_COLOR")

#pragma warning(pop)

#endif


The final question is the same as Andrew's.
